They were staff working on various projects Australian and migrant wives coping with the harshest pioneering conditions and professionals challenging and overcoming stereotypes of race and gender. By 1952 there were 108 'girls' on staff and more than 200 wives and they carved out a vital multicultural community of which future generations could be justly proud. Here are collected the stories of some of these women their memories of good times and the challenging times. These are recalled with lively humour and a sense of wonder about how different it was then. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine. 8vo. Kangaroo Press. Paperback
